I know about planking. I didn't know it started here though. Your link suggests otherwise.

Hmm, interesting. Apologies for not reading the full Wiki entry before linking to it. I was only basing it on the fact that when I saw a story about planking on the news here in the UK, the report said that it had originated in Australia.
